Boron Nutrition and Boron Application in Crops

Response of ‘Schattenmorelle’ Tart Cherry Trees to Drip Boron Fertigation

Abstract

Tart cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) is commonly grown in Poland because of favorable soil and climate conditions. During the last 10 years, tart cherry fruit production in Poland varied from 140 to 180 thousand tons, accounting for ca. 20% of the world production (Kubiak, 2000). Introduction of mechanical harvest has increased an interest in culture of this species (Wawrzynczak, 2000). The export of tart cherry fruit to EU markets in the recent years has also stimulated production of this species in Poland. It is predicted that tart cherry production will gradually increase since fruit of this species are valuable for some products such as yoghurt, cream cheese, jam, juices, and marmalades (Kubiak, 2000).
